The #BIAHroadtrip is currently in the middle of the 6-games-in-6-days leg of the trip. The Horizon League takes center stage tonight as the Cleveland State Vikings take on the Butler Bulldogs. If you are in Indianapolis, hit us up!

- Luke Winn Power Rankings: Come git some

- Jeff Borzello updates his freshman of the year standings

- An awesome-read on Duquesne's super sophmore TJ McConnell (Oh wait, Rob wrote this?)

- If you have 20-30min to spare, I suggest you read this exhaustive, and somewhat-ridiculous take-down of Washington head coach Lorenzo Romar

- Duke has been criticized for their lack of defensive toughness, but they certainly didn't lack any defensive toughness in their gritty win over Virginia on Thursday night

- The Manhattan Jaspers shocked the MAAC last night, rallying back from 17 points down against Iona in the final eight minutes. The comeback was capped off with a buzzer-beating 3-pointer by Sammy Andujar

- Texas Tech's Terran Pettway has been suspended one game for throwing a punch at Kansas' Connor Teahan

- Andy Bottoms provides a solid breakdown of the Baylor Bears and their undefeated season

- A solid ranking of the top 51 players in the country

- This is kinda funny considering it was written early Thursday morning, you know....before Minnesota upset Indiana at Assembly Hall

- A scuffle broke out in overtime between Oregon State and Arizona. To summarize, Kyle Fogg is a fool. Act like you've been there before.

- We all know that UCLA's Josh Smith needs to lose weight. USC head coach Kevin O'Neil agrees with the masses (pun intended)

- I;ve always been a huge fan of Rutgers head coach Mike Rice. The passionate Scarlet Knights leader has his team trending upwards

- Iowa coach Fran McCaffery doesn't regret powerbombing a folding chair during the Hawkeye's loss to Michigan State on Tuesday
